Find out how you can get involved in BBC Blast on tour.
What will you be doing?
From April to November BBC Blast on Tour offers hundreds of free
creative workshops for 13-19 year olds at events across the UK.
You’ll be working with a local Event Organiser to help plan and
manage one of the Blast on Tour Events.
You’ll be coming up with ideas for marketing and promotion based
on your knowledge of youth in the area, helping with production
schedules and event planning and working with local facilitators
and youth arts organisations to promote the free workshops, master
classes and showcases on offer.
A week before the main event arrives in your area the BAT Van
(Blast Advance Tour) will arrive. You will work alongside Blast
Touring Facilitators to promote your forthcoming event and help
deliver taster workshops for young people on board the van. When
the main Blast Tour arrives in town you'll be signing people into
sessions, supporting facilitators, photographing the event, filming
or stage managing a showcase.
The details Work Experience placements are flexible in duration
and last 1-3 weeks. Placements are unpaid and you'll need to cover
your own travel expenses.
Work Experience is run on a full-time basis and may require
evening or weekend work. What we are looking for The BBC welcome
applicants from all age groups, however this particular scheme has
been specifically designed to cater for applicants from 18-24 year
old age range in order to meet the learning requirements of this
group.
You’ll need to be energetic, creative, hard working, full of
energy and ideas and have a desire to work on events for young
people. Over 100 people will get the opportunity to work on Blast
